The new MMORPG Bless cannot complain about a lack of customers. On Steam, the game is ranked just behind PUBG in the top sales ratings.
Bless, the new online role-playing game from South Korea, was released recently and caused quite a stir. Because of lags, bugs, and missing content, some players were upset and wanted their money back.
Nevertheless, Bless is being eagerly purchased and played. In the Steam charts, the MMORPG is currently at the very top.
Bless three times in the charts!
A look at the Steam sales charts from May 28 to June 3 shows Bless as a major winner. The Founder-Pack Starter Edition comes in at 2nd place right behind the usual chart-topping PUBG.
The Online Collector’s Edition of Bless is already in 4th place. The Online Deluxe Edition right after at 5th place. Bless has thus made it into the top 5 Steam sales charts three times thanks to various versions.
These are the Steam charts (May 28 – June 3, 2018):
- PUBG
- Bless (Founders Packs Edition)
- Raft
- Bless (Collector’s Edition)
- Bless (Online Deluxe Edition)
- Dark Souls: Remastered
- Moonlighter
- Total War: Warhammer 2
- The Forest
- House Flipper
Sales success despite poor ratings: The success of Bless is all the more remarkable since the game is only positively rated in 54 percent of over 5,000 reviews. A well-known YouTuber, who specializes in MMORPGs, even advised against buying Bless!
More simultaneous players than ESO and Black Desert!
Bless is currently also being played a lot. The Steam charts for simultaneous players tell a clear story:
- On average, over 19,000 players play the game at the same time
- At peak, over 34,000 gamers were online
For comparison: The two other major Steam MMORPGs, Black Desert Online and The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), do not have such impressive numbers:
- ESO attracts an average of about 10,000 players on the servers, with a peak of nearly 30,000 players
- Black Desert Online recently had an average of about 14,000 players at the same time. The peak was just over 28,000 simultaneous gamers.
However, these numbers should be taken with caution! Because both games were not primarily launched on Steam and are also accessible via their own launcher. ESO also has a massive player base on consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Nevertheless, the numbers for Bless are impressive. If the game can keep improving and fix bugs, it could definitely continue to thrive on Steam.
